Seeing Mrs. Liao wanting to speak with a straight face, Mrs Ren continued, "But I'm not an unsympathetic person. When my father said this, the Ren family only had these coal mines in Yanzhou, not including the coal mines in Yanzhou. The three I bought in the south, so I can share the ones in the south with you. These coal mines are not bad. I originally gave them to my second brother, who knows best."

Liao's complexion finally softened. She knew if Ren Baoming explained that the two houses would not be separated, otherwise she would not have put up with the proposal to separate the family and the property until today, but she didn't know it. It turned out that the old man not only left words, but also written evidence.

You must know that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if the disputes between the descendants and grandchildren were brought to the government, the last words left by the ancestors in black and white were also the basis for the officials to determine the distribution of the family property.

Even if they knew that they would suffer a loss, Mr. Liao couldn't say anything to refute. Otherwise, if he really annoyed Mr. Ren and took out Ren Baoming to suppress them, even the only three coal mines would not be able to get it. It's just that Mr. Liao couldn't help but feel sullen. After all, they are all descendants of the old man. What is it like to favor one over the other? Isn't this room of theirs directly related

In fact, you can't blame Ren Baoming for favoring one over the other. In Yanbei, as long as there are some families, the eldest son will share most of the family's business, because this can ensure that the power of the family will not be dispersed due to too many grandchildren, which is beneficial to the family. long-term development.

"Then what about the 1.5 million taels you took out? We can't have a share, can we?" Mr. Liao said with an unpleasant expression.

Grandpa Ren said: "Most of the 1,500,000 taels were drawn from the coal stacks in Yanbei, and the money in Jiangnan has not been used, and will be borne by Yanbei in the future. The profits turned over include all the properties under the Ren family’s name, and the profits from the coal depots in Jiangnan and Kyoto will also be included, which is not something I can decide.”

Mrs Liao pouted: "The Ren family has been in business for so many years, right?"

Grandpa Ren nodded and said: "It is true that there are some savings, but in recent years, they have been spent on the coal stacks in Jiangnan and Kyoto. If you have any doubts, I will give you the account books of the Ren family over the years. Besides... Ren family There is no family separation yet. Since the benefits are shared, the risks should be shared, so the second siblings still need to pay attention to their words. In addition, this house and the other courtyard in Yunyang City, as well as all the people in Yanzhou The property of the Ren family is regarded as the ancestral property of the Ren family. It is only passed down to the eldest son of the eldest house, and it is not divided. This is written in the father's will. As for the houses in Kyoto and Jiangnan, they are all distributed to you. The Dongfu where you live now, Whether you want to move out or continue to live is up to you, even if we split up, we are still one family."

Listening to Mrs. Ren's words, Mrs. Liao seemed to be reasonable, but she just felt that she was not feeling well, but Mrs. Ren's words were justified, and she couldn't find a reason to refute them.

Mrs. Liao and Mr. Ren looked at each other, Mrs. Liao said, "We still need to discuss this matter. Although you are in charge, you can't divide it as you say, right?"

Grandpa Ren said tolerantly: "This is natural, you can raise any opinions, as long as it is a reasonable request, I can consider it. However, I still think that what my father said is reasonable. Our Ren family is not a very prosperous family. It would be better if we could stay home.”

Liao Shi had been looking forward to it for decades and finally waited until the time when the family could be separated, and she was willing to split up.

Grandpa Ren sighed: "Then you should go back to discuss the rest, and wait for the letter from the second brother from Beijing to discuss the rest."

Mrs. Liao didn't want to stay here for a long time. She was awkward when she sat on the guest seat. She immediately got up and said to the second master, "Shi Yuan, let's go back first." After that, she nodded towards Mrs. Ren and went out first. .

Ren Shiyuan saluted Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren, and followed them out.

As soon as they left, the old lady Ren's face fell.

Grandpa Ren seemed to be a little tired and said, "Stay here, you all go out too."

Ren Shimin and others also withdrew.

Seeing that there were only the three of them left in the house, Mrs. Ren said, "Grandpa, do you really want to split up the family with them? Now is the difficult time for the Ren family. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to split the family property at this time? Speaking of which, the old lady Ren was full of resentment, "The Ren family has been supporting Jiangnan's industry in these years, and has lost most of the money in the public. Now seeing the improvement, it is theirs! This is also Forget it, but Mrs. Liao still thinks that the 1.5 million taels of debt will be borne by us alone. She will share the good and the bad, and we will carry the bad? She has a good plan! According to me Look, it should be according to the words of the old master, whoever insists on dividing the family will divide the family without dividing the property! Look at what they are still making!"

Mrs. Ren sighed, and Mrs. Ren couldn't help being stunned when she heard it. People like Mr. Ren have always been strong, and he rarely sighed.

"Grandpa..."

Grandpa Ren said: "If we can keep the family apart, I won't agree to split at this time. But now it seems that separation is not necessarily a bad thing."

The old lady Ren was puzzled: "How do you say this?"

Mrs. Ren leaned back on the seat and said in a low voice, "Judging from the fact that Shizhong and I were imprisoned this time and what happened after that, it is the attitude of the Yanbei Wangfu that the Ren family will suffer this disaster. Now we have rejected the Zeng family's marriage, but I will intervene in Kyoto..."

The old lady Ren was startled: "Do you mean to give up those properties? But the Ren family has spent a lot of effort on this over the years."

Grandpa Ren said: "I didn't want to give up, so I gave the industries other than Yanbei to the second brother through the opportunity of this separation. In the future, the affairs of Jiangnan will be handed over to them. If you intervene again, it can be regarded as a statement with the Yanbei Palace."

Mr. Ren said: "My father's intention is to separate the industries of Yanbei and Jiangnan, so that even if there is a conflict between the imperial court and Yanbei in the future, we have already split up with the second uncle and the others, and we are in Yanbei. Bei manages the coal mines and coal warehouses in Yanbei, while the second uncle is in charge of Jiangnan, so the conflict between the imperial court and Yanbei will not involve our Ren family." This time, Mrs. Ren has learned a lesson and has a long memory.

The old lady Ren understood, but she worriedly said: "But does the second brother understand what you mean? If it is like Liao's..."

Grandpa Ren smiled and said lightly, "There has always been only one head of the Ren family."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ren Shizhong again, and said solemnly, "Boss, you also remember this sentence, there is only one head of the Ren family!"

Master Ren bowed his head and said yes.

The old lady Ren came to understand, it turns out that the old lady Ren didn't really want to split up the family property, it was just an expedient measure he came up with by taking advantage of the opportunity of Mr. Liao wanting to split up the family! The purpose is to allow the Ren family to minimize the risks borne by the Ren family when there is a conflict between the imperial court and Yanbei in the future!

Thinking of this, the sullenness that Mrs. Liao had previously angered by Mrs. Ren finally dissipated a lot.

A few days later, the Ren family received a letter from the second grandfather of the Dongfu from the capital.

In the letter, the second grandfather agreed to the method of family separation proposed by Mrs. Ren. Mrs. Ren got all the coal mines and coal stacks in Yanbei, while Dongfu took over the coal mines and coal stacks in Jiangnan and Kyoto. The second old man has been in charge of the business of Jiangnan and Kyoto for many years. Now the coal depot there is also making a lot of profit every month. In another year or two, it may not be able to surpass the industry in Yanbei. The second old grandfather also knew the legacy left by his father back then, and the few old grandpas who were able to be assigned to Jiangnan were not considered cheating on him.

However, the second old man also put it forward. He has no opinion on anything else. However, because the coal depot on the south side of the Yangtze River is about to improve, if he gives 60% of the income to the government every year, he is afraid that it will not be able to maintain it. The old man temporarily advanced 10% for him, and he only gave 50%.

After receiving the letter, Mrs. Ren replied to him, promising to advance 10% of the profits for him in the first three years.

After seeing the letter, the second grandfather readily agreed. As for the second old lady of the Dongfu, Mrs. Liao, the second old grandfather must have already sent her the letter, so she was not here to ask for trouble.

After that, there is a handover between the two parties. In fact, the business in Jiangnan has always been handed over to Dongfu, and there is not much to be handed over. The second old master said that he would let the fourth master come back as soon as possible to get this matter done.

So almost in a very peaceful atmosphere, the East House and the West House divided their homes.

On the surface, the separation of the Ren family seems to have little effect on the Ren family, at least the younger generation of the Ren family can hardly feel the difference between the separation of the family and the separation of the family.

The matter of the Ren family has come to an end for the time being, and the third room of the Ren family will also leave Baihe Town and return to Yunyang City.

Some time ago, Ren Shimin stayed at the Ren family's ancestral house because of an accident in the Ren family. Later, Mr. Ren's condition gradually improved, and Ren Shimin went to Yunyang Academy every once in a while, but Li Shi and Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua stayed in Baihe Town.

Now, the people of the third room can justifiably move back to the house in Yunyang City.

Mr. Li stayed in Yunyang City for a while, but now he is not used to the Ren family's ancestral house where he has lived for more than ten years. When there was a sudden accident in the Ren family, the flower party that Li had promised to hold in the new house was finally over. After returning this time, the invitations could finally be sent out, so Li was in an excellent mood.
